Richard Hammond drives a Bugatti Veyron on Top Gear, no sweat. But on Richard Hammond’s Crash Course, he’s inside an Abrams M1A2 tank. It’s mayhem in the name of modern machinery — multi-car pileups, rampant street fires and loose goats.

That sums up the first trailer for Hammond’s upcoming project with BBC America. Richard Hammond’s Crash Course follows one of the United Kingdom’s favorite gearheads as he travels the United States to get behind the wheel of some massive, outlandish vehicles (a trash compactor, an airport fire responder, the tank above). In each episode, Hammond meets the people who operate the vehicles daily, trains in their use and then tries to prove his competency.

Next month’s pilot episode will feature the same Abrams tank from above as Hammond’s initial challenge. Hear more about the series on our recent Storyboard podcast with Hammond or keep an eye out for the upcoming April issue of Wired. Ultimately, you’ll need to tune in to see if all goats truly break loose.
